Buggy Build

In the beginning there was my grandson Trevor. Trevor had ask about getting a go cart to ride on the farm. Being thrifty, (cheep) I priced different options. For what he wanted, a used car could be bought. I took inventory of what was on hand in the shop and decided to make a buggy. I happened to be at Nichol's Store where they sell Bad Boy Buggies and there were some partially stripped buggies in the back lot. I bought 2 and we started our project.

Finished

After 12 months and many changes to improve drive design faults the buggy was complete. Now it will be routine maintenance.
